The Space Grant Internet Telescope Network: The Beginning Dr. Paul S. Hardersen Director, ND Space Grant Consortium National Space Grant Directors Meeting Las Cruces, New Mexico, Fall 2007

Since the March meeting…. Introduced Internet telescope network concept to Space Grant community in March What has happened?  Met with Rocky Mountain SG reps (April).  ND Internet Obs #1 operational (May).  Began construction for 2 nd obs (June).  Formalized participation by SD (July). Space Grant Internet Telescope Network (SGITN) began operations August 1, 2007.

What is the SGITN? What: A national network of Internet observatories for research and education. Why: Increase access to research facilities for non-AURA colleges and universities. Encourage research! Who: University students/faculty in participating Space Grant States (host and affiliate institutions). Where: Any location with modest Internet access.

Current participants

Facilities overview: South Dakota Badlands Observatory, near Quinn, SD. Ron Dyvig, operator. 26-inch-aperture Newtonian w/UBVRI filters. Subsidized through cost- sharing arrangement. No cost to students.

Facilities overview: North Dakota

Observatory #1: 16” aperture SCT w/UBVRI filters. Observatory #2: 10” aperture SCT w/UBVRI filters  operational by 1/1/2008. Observatory #3: 20” aperture SCT w/UBVRI filters and stellar spectrograph. Construction in Summer Observatory #4: Small radio telescope, 7’ diameter, measures L-band of neutral H at 1.42 GHz.

SGITN:

How does the SGITN operate? For qualified individuals wanting to use the Network: 1. Read information on the SGITN web site. 2. Submit request via online PDF forms. 3. Receive project approval and observing time. 4. Schedule observing time and begin work.  Can use any available observatory.  Given entire nights to observe.  Observing time dependent on demand and needs.

Telescope control via ACP

An inside view….

The key ingredients Committed telescope operators at each observatory. Good coordination between Network admin and all observatories. Clear, constant communication with all users and observatory operators. Well-maintained equipment. Advertising to attract students and faculty to the Network.

SGITN Yahoo group

And now, for a demo…..

Building a national network Goal: Make the SGITN a truly national network  Observatories participating from coast-to-coast.  Offer a diverse range of instrumentation to facilitate many types of research projects.  Help fulfill the Space Grant mission --  Attract students to STEM disciplines.  Encourage workforce development via research careers.

Get involved! Encourage your state observatories to join. Find faculty and students interested in building, maintaining, and operating small observatories. Encourage colleges and universities to commit resources. Questions?
